Soccer Pitch Apron

Description

The pitch should have an apron around it to do two things:

Usage

soccer_pitch_apron(
  pitch_length = 0,
  pitch_width = 0,
  pitch_apron_touchline = 0,
  pitch_apron_goal_line = 0,
  goal_depth = 0
)

Arguments

pitch_length	The length of the pitch
pitch_width	The width of the pitch
pitch_apron_touchline	The distance beyond the outer edge of the touchline that the pitch's apron should extend
pitch_apron_goal_line	The distance beyond the outer edge of the back of the goal that the pitch's apron should extend
goal_depth	The depth to which the goal protrudes away from the back edge of the goal line

Details

1. Replicate the spacing between the goal line/touchline and the nearest ad boards

2. Allow the goal line and touchline to be more clearly visible

This makes practical sense, as there is grass outside of the in-play area of the pitch

Value

A data frame containing the bounding coordinates of the pitch's apron
